Model Train Websites

There are a lot of sites for the models themselves, such as hobbysurplus.com, ones for Athearn, Atlas, Walthers, Model Die Casting/Roundhouse, and so on. Mail order houses such as Toy Train Heaven and others have websites too. I haven't seen the trains.com website the other responder mentioned but I know if it's Kalmbach it's bound to be good.
Don't forget that your favorite real railroad may have a group on Yahoo groups. My personal favorite is the Baltimore and Ohio group, because the B&O had a line literally a stone's throw from our house. Norfolk and Western, Rock Island, Santa Fe, and other real railroads have their own groups too.
And there are other sites for pictures of engines, freight and passenger cars, etc. where you can make your models look more like the real thing.
So really, I don't know if there is one best website--it depends on what you're looking for. Good luck in your hobby and who knows? Internet railroading could be a hobby in and of itself!

Well
Model trains are my passion since I was a little child. The only good online resource I found is this one http://www.goobypls.com/r/rd.asp?gid=416. I'm reading their ebook series and I have learned a lot. Check it out I think it's worth it.
Bye Bye

I (we with my two boys) have started our adventure as of 6 months ago and they both count the days of the week waiting for the weekend to go and do “our” thing. Thanks to this site http://tinyurl.com/ModelTrainsBeginnersR , staff, site and books, I was able to quickly get up to speed on the latest technologies and techniques without spending days if not weeks on the web to look for it (and most likely not finding all that you have provided).
I was pleasantly surprised to find that this hobby is still so active since I have not touched my boxes of trains since packing up the layout my father did with me in 1975. I can only imagine the hours needed to keep up with all of what you are doing and I salute you in your mission.
My two boys are saved from the video game frenzy for now but its up to the parents and grandparents of this generation to help the next generation. This site help us do what we can do better and we all have fun and at the same time educate our children…
